Jill at Breaking the Spine started this and I believe that it's awesome" This blog post is to alert those that visit about "the" book that we cannot wait to get our hands on. THE WAVE by Todd Stasser is a story based on actual events. Years ago I watched the movie on this very subject and from then on have been fascinated about this true story.

So it is no wonder that I am excited about this upcoming book. Even though I know about this story it is still a fascinating experiment gone wrong.

The Wave is based on a true incident that occured in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969.

The
powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements
such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt
Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. And before long "The
Wave," with its rules of "strength through discipline, community, and
action, " sweeps from the classroom through the entire school. And as
most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David
Collins recognize the frightening momentum of "The Wave" and realize
they must stop it before it's too late.

Hello! I am the Ravenous Reader and I love to read and find my happiness in devouring as many YA novels as I possibly can. When I am not reading then you can find me chatting up books with my blogging buddy and bookish friends to the point of distraction. I am also extremely fortunate to live in an area that has a plethora or YA events that I love chronicling on my Instagram account.
